UNSPSC 50122126: Farm raised european sea bass

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as European Sea Bass, that was farm raised and harvested as an adult, and is not presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122126 Farm raised european sea bass, a Commodity code, covers seafood protein products supplied to institutional kitchens and food service operations. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy prepared seafood products—primarily fish sticks and other breaded or processed fish items—for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution networks. The work involves meeting USDA nutritional standards, food safety certifications (HACCP, FSMA compliance), and large-volume delivery commitments measured in thousands of pounds per order. Issuing bodies span state departments of administrative services, county and independent school districts, and economic development authorities; purchasing offices consolidate food procurement for correctional industries, school lunch programs, and retail grocery operations serving low-income communities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027 on October 6, 2026 (response due October 12, 2026) to supply Georgia Correctional Industries with fish sticks in 40,000-pound increments, with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing and specifications requiring detailed compliance responses rather than checkbox acknowledgments. Hancock County Board of Education released IFB #SN002-2027 on June 9, 2026 for comprehensive school nutrition grocery supply including seafood proteins across three school locations (response due June 26, 2026), requiring Buy American compliance and HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility. Early County Board of Education similarly solicited food items including seafood products in June 2026, and Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta issued RFQ #26-204 in April 2026 for 2026–2028 grocery procurement with frozen fish products among the deliverables. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (posted July 6, 2026) for municipal market retail operations and food distribution services includes food supply sourcing for grocery retail and restaurant operations, with distributors required to service multiple Atlanta-area accounts. School districts dominate the recent opportunity stream, with standard contract periods running July 1 through June 30 and firm pricing requirements of 60 to 90 days post-award.
